Hey everyone. Eggdrop1.6.7 is finally out of development and is now the new official stable version of Eggdrop. This release is pretty big (besides the filesize ) because of the sheer number of bugs that have been fixed in this version. Instead of listing every single change I will list a few major ones: - For people who experience strange startup crashes, there is a new configure option you should try called: --disable-cc-optimization (there are some known problems with gcc on certain platforms and the -O2 flags so we have made it easier for you to disable them) - An uptime module has been included with this release as part of a little contest jointly run by energymech.net and eggheads.org. This module is pretty simple in that it sends your bot's botnet-nick, version, current irc server (limbo bots are not allowed), current uptime, and a little bit of other information used to prevent cheating. I think right now the energymechs are winning the contest but they have also been running as a part of the contest for a lot longer. Hopefully we will get some nice records up on the webpage. Incase you are wondering when I am going to tell you the url -- I'll do that now: http://uptime.eggheads.org - Unicode support has been improved again by stdarg (I know I say that every release). - The ctcp bind again allows wildcards (I know I missed this when it was changed for some odd reason) - A few binds (sign, splt, and nick) have been fixed to actually pass the proper handle of who is triggering the bind. - And many more! The complete list can be found @ ftp://ftp.eggheads.org/pub/eggdrop/UPDATES/1.6/UPDATES1.6.7 This release is a major release. I strongly encourage people to use it and take advantage of the uptime module if they want to have a little fun :P~ You can download eggdrop 1.6.7 @ ftp://ftp.eggheads.org/pub/eggdrop/source/1.6/eggdrop1.6.7.tar.gz The signature for this release can be found @ ftp://ftp.eggheads.org/pub/eggdrop/source/1.6/eggdrop1.6.7.tar.gz.sig Also people looking to use a patch from 1.6.6 to 1.6.7, this can be found @ ftp://ftp.eggheads.org/pub/eggdrop/patches/official/1.6/eggdrop1.6.6-1.6.7.p atch.gz The signature for this patch can be found @ ftp://ftp.eggheads.org/pub/eggdrop/patches/official/1.6/eggdrop1.6.6-1.6.7.p atch.gz.sig The md5sums are: b33b0740b9cbaa9d74bfe69a20632c58 eggdrop1.6.7.tar.gz db37af834a0f9d91daaa41424fa45980 eggdrop1.6.7.tar.gz.sig 025cae06056b4d54c8940cc45c49eea8 eggdrop1.6.6-1.6.7.patch.gz 4c733b54caf2286e847c5083e4e38bc7 eggdrop1.6.6-1.6.7.patch.gz.sig As one of my closing notes, I am sure some people will notice the size of the tarball has increased a bit -- this is because of a new autoconf version which requires config.guess and config.sub -- it really isn't eggdrop just getting more and more bloated hehe, trust me on this one. Have fun and go buy your local neighborhood eggdev guy (we have no girls! why is that?) a case of beer or coke (or vodka is you happen to live near dw).
